we see colorado and washington creating a very liberal open policy, california striking down their three-strikes law. that says let's not have nonviolent drug offenders go away to jail for a long time. judges and police say this is a losing battle. let's move towards treatment and decriminalization and treat it like alcohol rather than prohibition and criminalization. we have a mexican president saying, hey, let's look at a different way to treat this thing. let's talk about what he recently said. in favor of opening a new debate in the strategy in the way we fight drug traffickings. it's clear after several decades we have more drug consumption, drug use, drug trafficking. things are not working. a change in the drug policy would have a massive impact on the economy and on crime in both north america and throughout south america, and would lead the way and open the path toward a more humane immigration policy and people in america accepting them. >> i think you're right. it's been interesting. as things have moved politically in terms of the war on drugs, we've also, of course, seen after this

yes, the incoming president studied in the u.s., he actually taught in california for a little bit. two of these children are american citizens, he himself says he wants to have good relations with the united states. but why egypt matters for several reasons. for 30 years since the peace treaty with israel, the peace treaty has been the corner stone of their foreign policy in egypt. more importantly, the suez canal through which so much of the world's oil passes through on a daily basis, all of that matters to the u.s. in that region. if egypt becomes a democracy, there's no doubt it will have a spillover effects on other countries, there's no doubt egypt is an important lynch pin of u.s. interests across the region. >> one thing that is interesting to note here, unlike syria, even though we don't know exactly what sort of a face and what sort of a a relationship we're o be able to have with morsi, we have more leverage with egypt because they rely on our foreign aid. they're the second largest non nato recipient of foreign aid in the united states. they also have a weak economy, so

at the university of california, asians are the largest group. white students aren't doing as well. so the part of senator webb's article that i saw the point of, is that we often talk about race in very buynary terms where whites are on top and everyone else is on the bottom. and you do find that top universities, rural whites, working class rural whites, are the least likely to make mir way to the top universities. so you know, i think we are terrible as society about talking about class. that's what i would like us to talk more about. >> joan walsh, author of white what's the matter with white people." and we go to a town in ohio that krystal says it shows what it is all about. you do this every morning? it's the only way to get fresh coffee. not in my house! this new flavor lock pack from maxwell house helps seal in freshness. wow! that is fresh! am i still yelling?

a huge number of people in our poll are from california and new york, states that aren't competitive by population. >> more precise, but more precise in measures what? if you measure the national poll and it moves a few points, it's probably shifting across the board. what do you get more precise about narrowing it to 12 arbitrary states? >> in our case it's 10 battlegrounds we feel comfortable with. you're right. the other key point to bolster your argument is that those ten battlegrounds in terms of aggregating them have roughly tracked almost within one or two points of the national numbers. so it's pretty representative of the country as a whole, but a little bit more precise perhaps. it's one thing we look at, and we cut and slice and dice the sample a lot of different the ways to try and find meaning in the numbers to help people make heads or tails of them. >> james, back to the gallup poll that the president's campaign is unhappy about, and i'm not a poll truther, but it's an odd result to show romney and the president running evenly with women. it sort of defies it. in fact,

we had peter king, congressman from new york, and adam ship, congressman from california. they both gave thifr interpretations. peter king said petraeus said he didn't know who are on when the cia intelligence talking points were edited, and shift said that petraeus said that the reason they were edited was to protect classified information. now, i talked to a former cia counterintelligence official today who said that both of those aassessessments can't rea live in the same word, so maybe there's some misinterpretation of what petraeus said. you can't believe on the one hand petraeus didn't know why the talking points were edited and on the other he had a perfectly good explanation for why the points were edited. make we'll get more on that. i think that we have a deeper understanding here after today about why david petraeus so badly want upped to come out and set the record straight. he didn't want on record that cia intelligence was bad and that was the reason. so that "wall street journal" report we saw yesterday talking about petraeus in his final days at the cia rea
